I was positive of about two things in my life at the moment. One I was Bella Swan. And two, that my best friend in the whole world, Alice Cullen, was pregnant. My sweet little pixie, Al, is pregnant. She's standing in front of me waiting expectantly and hopefully for an answer. I just had to say it. I felt my eyes well up and I whispered as loud as I could, "It's positive." She started crying so hard. I didn't know what to do. Her whole body was shaking so fiercely. I grabbed her body and held her. I held her because I knew what was facing her and me. We stood that way for a while in the compact bathroom that was shared by Alice and I. Oh god, I had no idea what was going to happen. Did Alice what to get an abortion?
Alice lifted her tear-streaked face, and as if she heard my question spoke with confidence, "Bella I don't know what to do. But I'm not going to have an abortion and, I am not going to give away this baby."
"Okay Alice, that's find I'll help you in any way." Alice nodded.
"Hey Al, who's the baby's dad? I didn't think you were dating anyone…" Realizing what I was asking I trailed off mentally kicking myself in the ass. I could see Alice go completely white and I was scared.
"It was a one night stand," whispered Alice. She looked up urgently at me and told me, "Oh Bella, it was my first one night stand. He was just so intriguing and a mystery. I couldn't help myself. I left his apartment before he woke up. I just know his name is Jacob or Justin. Oh I don't know. It started with a J. I was so intimidated and ashamed I slept with him I just left." Al was beginning to cry again. Sniffling she finished, "But I know what building he lives in and what floor. Oh god, what am I going to do?" I thought for a second.
"Well Al, we have to tell him. This can all work out okay and we don't even have to tell him you don't know his name." I tried to add as a joke and laughed nervously. Alice gave me a small smile and I sighed telling her, " I think we had enough excitement for one day, okay. Let's just go to class and see about contacting Jacob, Justin, or whatever his name is tomorrow." I gave her a small smile and a hug. We had a long road ahead of us. I didn't know what to do. But I was going to stick by Al's side and be her birthing coach if I had to. Whatever to make my small pixie girl smile brightly again.
